The risk of getting in an animal crash is three times higher in November than from January-September. That's because deer breed in the fall.

Jonathan Adkins of the Governor's Highway Safety Association says the only way for government to prevent animal crashes is to put up more fencing. But he says it's extremely expensive, and not very practical.

Therefore, he says it's up to drivers to slow down, especially at dusk on rural roads.

State Farm officials state total insurance industry claims for deer and other animal crashes are up 15 percent over the last five years.
